This is still in the alpha stages, but does work for the most part. I am not sure when RTMP (network protocol) support was added to each XBMC release, but the latest T3CH release works with this on my Xbox with XBMC.

24, Family guy, Simpsons, American Dad, Fringe all work.
Other shows can be added by editing the default.py and adding them to the array at the beginning of the file.

The other shows not listed are not working at this time. The ;.international=false in shows urls such as 30 Rock, cause a bug in the rmtp library. I am submitting a bug, so hopefully the next release will have the fix.

Ticket for the fix, with the code. http://trac.xbmc.org/ticket/5492 This may take some time to make it into the next build, so you may want to get the latest from svn and compile you own.

** If no shows play and you are in the US, you will need to update your version. Family guy should play if you have a version with rmtp support.

I couldn't resist, I added all of the TV shows to the array. This list is full and works on my xbox.

While testing this out I realized your code does not yet take into account for special characters. I ended up stripping out all specials such as ',$,-, etc. Quite a few titles use them, although not sure which ones in particular were causing the problem. I would definately suggest pulling the array out of the python file and putting it into XML. Maybe one XML file for TV and one for Movies.

Sadly, I don't have the latest T3CH build yet, so none of the shows played for me. But the whole list did show. Downloading latest build now....

The ones that won't work won't work... no biggie.

But screw keeping all of them in an xml file that is silly.

I wanted to group all the episodes for a show. Without having to enter a search by hand each time or just get the shows from the main page, this was the fastest way to do it. I will probably add a search function and a way to enter favorites in a later release.

Thanks for putting this array together, as you can see it is an alpha release. I was focusing more on just getting it to work. Adding features will follow, hopefully some python guru's can help speed development.

Sorry if I'm somewhat noobish, but what should we do to make this run? I put the Hulu folder in the video plugins folder. Tried running it, but nothing would play. Do I have to enable some settings or some other thing of which I'm unaware?

Edit: Apparently, I'm not up to date on my builds. BTW, has this been tested on Xbox because that is what I'm running on, using Mediastream with reduced quality textures.

Yeah copy the Hulu folder to the video/plugins directory. You do need a recent build that supports rtmp. I am running the latest T3CH build on my xbox.

No... thank you! Didn't take long at all. I downloaded the latest build, added your plugin with full array and everything works great. Figured that could be a stop-gap for now.

Well, not sure how you can overcome this other than using some US based proxy. I'm assuming Hulu isn't that stupid to allow a simple query parameter to allow/disallow access to the videos. I would guess they filter based on ip
